What are the benefits of chamomile for the skin?

Chamomile, also known by its scientific name of Chamomilla recut, belongs to the Asteraceae family. A perennial herbaceous plant, it is recognized by its yellow and white flowers standing alone on a stem. It comes in different varieties, such as German chamomile, great chamomile, or Roman chamomile, the latter being the most widespread in cosmetics.

From its flowers, steam distillation allows for the extraction of two distinct fractions, the essential oil and the hydrosol, both of which are used for cosmetic applications.

When applied topically, chamomile has several benefits:

• Rich in flavonoids, active ingredients with anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antibacterial properties, this spring flower soothes irritations such as psoriasis and eczema. It is therefore recommended for daily care of sensitive skin prone to irritations and redness.

• It soothes the burning sensations associated with excessive sun exposure.

• It revitalizes dull complexions and restores radiance to tired skin.
